"Reichstagshellcrater" sounds more and more like his dead roll model. No wonder he named himself after his burial place...

'The Operation Is On!' Iraq's Sunni Tribes Fight Al-Qaeda AFP 09/29/2006 Western Iraq's powerful sheikhs have launched an offensive against foreign Al-Qaeda extremists on their territory, they have said, in an important victory for the US-backed government. "The operation is on!" said Sheikh Abdel Sattar Baziya, head of the Abu Risha clan and chair of the Anbar province tribal council. "The sons of Anbar's tribes today captured three Saudis, two Syrians and three Iraqi teenagers and turned them over to police," he told AFP Friday. This is not the first time that Anbar province's Sunni tribes have pledged to turn over the Sunni insurgents in their midst, but US officers are privately delighted that they now seem to be making good on their promise. The supposed leader of Al-Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Ayyub al-Muhajer, tacitly confirmed this Thursday in an Internet plea for Iraqi tribesmen to rejoin his forces in their battle with the "infidels". On Wednesday, the tribes met with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and agreed to cooperate on security in lawless Anbar, the province which accounts for the majority of US casualties in Iraq. "We agreed to enroll as many of the tribesmen in the police and army as possible," said Baziya. "We proposed to the government projects to save the province." One coalition intelligence official said that the difference now is that the tribesmen realize that they cannot confront Al-Qaeda on their own. He too, however, acknowledged the fickle nature of Anbar's tribes, which tend to put their own interests well above those of any particular nation or ideal.
